Buying a new laptop

[Dannie Boy]

I’d be surprised if the quality in Thailand is any different than in Europe, assuming you buy from an official dealer - they’re probably all made in China in any case. So price is likely to be the decider - Google should answer that question.

Yep, quality will be the same as they're all off the same production line but prices and specs are probably better in Europe/UK.

As I had mentioned in a separate thread, I’ve recently bought an iPad 10 from Banana and it was more than £100 cheaper than buying in the UK so it’s definitely worth checking.

Maybe so, but the laptop I bought in the UK was a good 20% cheaper than the same model in Thailand, and the camera I bought in Japan was 30% cheaper. Its worth checking, but chances are tech stuff is dearer here.

Edit: had to check that claim DB as its rarely the case ...

iPad 10 UK price 499 GPB (22,213 THB)

iPad 10 Thai price 20,900 THB (469 GBP)

So you're right, marginally cheaper here (but warranties may vary) ... and a change in exchange rates could flip that!

All I said, is that it’s worth checking!!

Moved the Apple discussion into the iThings thread, this one is about buying new laptops. https://www.huahinforum.com/viewtopic.p ... &start=268

Yep - sorry. But then again, look at Lenovo and an Android operating system.

If I bought a new laptop(not Apple) is there someone who offers a paid service to set it all up as per existing with e mail I-map settings etc?

Thanks
